How to record video inside your car
Image via Wikipedia
The question was posed to me by a client who wanted to capture video from the ‘drivers seat’ sort of speak that was quick to setup, cheap, and easily shared on the Internet on either a website, blog, YouTube or Facebook page.
There are several options to capture video from inside the car, anything ranging from the infamous Go Pro to a complete suction-based video production rig using the latest in HD video camera technology. However for this post, rather than write about it, I decided to leave our Toronto production studio and show it in action with this short how to video detailing all that you need for a simple solution which is great for general video purposes – yes in the car.

Kelli, the stickiness seems to be fading away but ever since I rinsed it off, it’s less tacky. How can I get it back to being super tacky again? Thanks in advance.
